Long time no see... I meant that to the blogspot... hadn't run my eyes over a blog for a long long while... but then, I read 1 which made me chuckle...manadalada mathu....: RAM BaTra magaLu......
On the email side of things, Hari sent a link to the TAMU Kannadigaru group... a site dedicated to, of all things in this God's creation, the umpteen potholes on the roads(?) of Bangalore!! For all u curious cats out there, here's the url: www.bangalorepothole.com
My first impressions:
Adopt a pothole??? are they afraid that potholes may become extinct in the near future?? i had no idea that potholes have been added to the list of endangered species... i mean.. aren't they a-thriving in the land of maNNina maga Devve Gowda??
also, the "adoption" raises some bureaucracy-like querries... what would you do if (God forbid!!) the BMP takes it upon itself to wipe the pothole u just adopted off the face of the earth?? would that be tantamount to infanticide? can u get compensated for the loss of a beloved adopted one?? how about if a mechanic or a doctor adopted one and it was flattened?? would they be compensated for loss of income from the family's main bread earner??
and what are u expected to do once u adopt a pothole?? ensure its healthy growth?? feed it with motorists??
and what about those fotos they have up there??? what if some1 has adopted one of those potholes already?? does he/she get a compensation for the use of their loved one's likeness?? & if the age of the pothole is less than 18 yrs, did they take the permission of the legal guardians to put up these fotos on the net???
Thought of winding up there, but......couldn't resist 1 more....
Is BMP planning to do a "virtual"cover up of these potholes?? Might be easier doing it on photoshop than actually filling it up!!
